Semi-Empirical LET Descriptions of Heavy Ions Used in the European Component Irradiation Facilities

Semi-empirical fitting based on classical Bohr theory has been applied to the experimental LET data in silicon of the RADEF heavy ion cocktail species. The parameterized LET descriptions to be used in the European Component Irradiation Facilities are introduced and compared with the commonly used estimations from SRIM-code. Also, a new user interface, ECIF Cocktail Calculator, based on this work, has been published under the RADEF webpages at http://www.jyu.fi/accelerator/radef/ECIFCalc.
